Lol. My last post got all jacked up. I'm trying to find part numbers in FAST. Does anyone have a N1 chassis code?<br /><br />Sent from my SC-03D<br /><br />

That'd be it. Chef bought it for me a couple of months back. Just waiting on that all important comp plate. Car is based in NSW unfortunately.

Hope to have it out at a drive sometime this year.

Well done! Nice car. Enjoy it when the plate comes through. They're superb!

Does yours have a driver's airbag?

Hi Guys

V Spec II

Chassis number: BNR32 311842

Just got my mine through Iron Chef.

Car currently has 34,000km and is 100% stock except for Nismo pipes coming off the turbo.

Hopefully the car will be here and on the road in around 2 months.

Hey Mate

How did this car set you back if you dont mind me asking, you can pm me if you like thanks, i been thinking of getting one put prices are all over the place....thanks

yours is an awesome example .......

Hi,

Prices do vary but the really nice ones cost a fair bit more. V Spec's appear to command around $10K more than a GT-R in similar condition/kms.

Here's one that went through recently;

http://prestigemotorsport.com.au/stock/show_car.php?id=875

Mine was more than this due to the lower kms and better interior. The one above has a couple of mods, turbo timer, exhaust etc which I was hoping to avoid.

Good luck and let us know how you get on. ]

Nice!

With full Nismo Body Kit too!

I was told, also being a Black colour V-Spec II, it adds more value to the car.

Either due to the popularity / demand or the numbers that were made of the car.

That's debateable. If it is the case then it isn't the build numbers as there are other factory colours that are much rarer for VSPEC 1 &2.

Black is always popular though, so is the Gunmetal Grey as it is "The Original" R32 GTR colour.

Yeah, sure :)

I recently just spoke to a new owner of a Black V-Spec II and that's what he said...

Due to the popularity of people wanting a Black coloured one.

I get the impression that those N1/Nismo hood lips and boot spoilers are more trouble than they're worth - the steel structural inserts rust and 'blow' the surface. I kinda wished that mine had had them specified when it was delivered, but I'm glad it didn't now. The Nismo front bar though, that's different. I lurve the fact that mine has one ;)

I'm not a mad fan of the black though. Very hard to keep a black car looking clean, whereas my Gang Ray Metallic car can get really grotty and it still looks pretty good - until you get close!

Agreed. Black looks awesome when its well cared for and 100% clean. As soon as it rains or even gets dusty then its downhill from there.

I was very happy to get metallic grey.

It took me long enough to get around to doing this.. But here we go:

  • Model of car V-Spec II, Built mid '94 somewhere
  • 'Chassis No' code BNR32310112
  • 'Model' code from the chassis plate
  • Photo of the blue chassis plate that is fixed to the car in the driver's side of the engine bay
  • Where the car is located Located in Bathurst

My theory (which is highly theoretical, as far as theories go) is that the car may have a history as a pace car or similar, it has marks which appear to be from a light bar on the roof, it had harnesses, braided lines, bonnet pins, castor rods, Nismo body braces, twin plate, master cylinder stopper, HKS boost controller, hard piping kit, Nismo clutch slave and nismo dash. Also still had ceramic turbos, stock suspension, speed limiter, all interior in good nick, no scratches on the front lip etc. I have tried to find some form of evidence to back this up, but have found nothing other than what was on the car.. Either way, it is a bit rough, with clear coat coming off, and the paint on the bonnet is like sandpaper, but I wanted to own a V-Spec II for 10 years before I bought it, and it will never be for sale..

Oh, and there might be another GTR in the family..

That's awesome iplen - it does sound like a pace car. It looks fierce.

I reckon I remember another one of your posts somewhere. Isn't the R33 your Mum's?

And yes, how did you go against that Holden?

  • 2 weeks later...

I think I can post here too now.....

As of yesterday....

  • Model of car V-Spec II, Built Oct 94
  • 'Chassis No' code BNR32313245

Short details:

Silver

Stock

Single owner

17,300 kms (full documented service history)

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
